OK, pond de-winterized! Removed netting (to catch leaves), scooped out all the stray leaves I coud get, and fired up the pumps! No Leaks! Still have to get in (brrrrr.. even with waders, still cold!) and do some arranging.

A few of the marginal plants, Irises mostly, starting to break hibernation and put up new shoots.

Had to yank out a boatload of string algae, that stuff grows all winter, even under ice, as best i can tell. Got to go get me some Barley straw to stop the string algae.

Fish all lookin good, either no fatalaties, or very few!

Gotta get me some of that Schultz Aquasoil, repot the lilies and lotus, and away we go!

Life is good! WOOOO HOO!!!
